What is the recommended application rate of triple bromo for pigweed control?

For effective control of pigweed, the recommended application rate of triple bromo is 0.5 pounds of active ingredient (a.i.) per acre. This rate has been determined based on research and field trials that demonstrate its efficacy in managing pigweed populations while minimizing potential crop injury and environmental impact.

Using lower rates may not achieve optimal control, leading to reduced efficacy, while higher rates could pose risks to surrounding crops and might not provide proportionally better weed control. Therefore, 0.5 pounds a.i. strikes a balance between effectiveness and safety, making it the recommended application rate for pigweed management.
